Just wondering what name you call your bike and why; if at all?

It sounded like you had a good day out other than that. Such a shame that the bike...sorry "The Pig" let you down.

Is it easily fixable?

{Added} I refer to Keyoke's bike as junior as in X JR.

I call my motorcycle "The Beast".

Getting her started is a bear
Keeping her idling is a bear
Keeping her going...easy.

I call my Radian the bad Rad sometimes. I find it funny to call it that around the 600cc sportsbike riders, it probably confuses them well.

Just call mine the bike. But it's an affectionate "the bike". More meaning than when applied to say, a bicycle.

Well, when I had the old Nighthawk, I used a variety of non appropiate words for her a lot. Especially on those 500 mile days when she leaked oil all over my brand new $150 boots for 10 hours.

Sometimes we refer our bike as our Baby!

Montel.... It's a long story, but refers to my X. It was the court settlement I got from her that bought the bike (and a few other toys). Gotta love her for that. LOL
